Ultraman is a legendary giant from a faraway galaxy, who comes to Earth to protect us from giant monsters called Kaiju. He is aided by Japan’s Defense Teams, whose main purpose is to defend the Earth from monsters and aliens. For almost 60 years, Ultraman and his people, the Ultras, have been friends and guardians to humankind. Celebrating its 60th anniversary next year, the Ultraman Universe first debuted in 1966 with the launch of the television series Ultra Q. Over the last nearly 60 years, the Ultraman franchise has spawned a record number of television series, films, video games, and more.

Retailing for $125, the Ultraman Omnibus will release on July 14, 2026 with the standard edition cover drawn by Ed McGuinness and a direct-to-market exclusive cover drawn by Peach Momoko.
